Answer 3

Elizabeth (Erzsebet) Bathory was a countess of noble lineage in 1500s-1600s Royal Hungary. Very little is known of her descendants, they would not be traceable by Bathory anyways because they would have carried on her husband Ferenc Nadasdy's last name. Dennis Báthory-Kitsz at http://www.bathory.org claims to possibly be an ancestor but there is not proof of this. Her cousin Stephen was king of Poland, cousin Gabor was prince of Transylvania, Ferenc himself came from a noble family and was a Hungarian war hero, along with a few other scattered of high royalty also. Thurzo, prime minister, and also her cousin, was the one who marched troops into her castle and finally stopped her massacres. Many of her relations during the time and past suffered from some sort of mental illness. The Bathory family was notorious for past inbreeding among members in order to preserve the moral blood. Erzsebet herself suffered from seizures and rages. Since she was so high in nobility, she was able to get away with her evil killings and tortures of numerous young peasant girls, but was finally stopped after killing some girls of noble blood. Sources indicate anywhere from 50-650 girls were tortured to death by her. As far as the bathing in blood goes, thats most likely a myth. Not a word was ever mentioned at her trial about it, yet her other hideous forms of torture were, such as freezing to death, biting flesh, pins, needles, burning, shredding, starving girls to death, slitting veins, the list goes on. The trial transcript is quite extensive and none of the couple hundred witnesses ever mentioned blood bathing. It's more likely with her being involved deeply in witchcraft, that it was part of her and her helpers rituals though.

She most certainly was real. A very interesting story as well. Her biography is as follows, Countess Elizabeth Báthory (August 7, 1560 – August 21, 1614) was a countess from the renowned Báthory family. She is possibly the most prolific female serial killer in history and is remembered as the "Blood Countess" and as the "Bloody Lady of Cachtice", after the castle near Trencsén (today Trencín) in the Kingdom of Hungary, (today's Slovakia), where she spent most of her adult life. After her husband's death, she and four collaborators were accused of torturing and killing hundreds of girls and young women, with one witness attributing to them over 600 victims, though the number for which she was convicted was 80. In 1610, she was imprisoned in the Csejte Castle, where she remained bricked in a set of rooms until her death four years later. The case has led to legendary accounts of the Countess bathing in the blood of virgins in order to retain her youth and subsequently also to comparisons with Vlad Ţepeş "the Impaler" Prince of Wallachia, on whom the fictional Count Dracula is partly based, and to modern nicknames of the Blood Countess and Countess Dracula. The case of Elizabeth Báthory inspired numerous stories during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The most common motif of these works was that of the countess bathing in her victims' blood in order to retain beauty or youth. This legend appeared in print for the first time in 1729, in the Jesuit scholar László Turóczi’s Tragica Historia, the first written account of the Báthory case. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, this certainty was questioned, and sadistic pleasure was considered a far more plausible motive for Elizabeth Báthory's crimes. In 1817, the witness accounts (which had surfaced in 1765) were published for the first time, demonstrating that the bloodbaths, for the purpose of preserving her youth, were legend rather than fact. Prince Vlad the Impaler and Countess Elizabeth Báthory both make for wonderful tales to turn into movies and to draw from for the plots of the movies not based on their story. L8r
